I noticed Revisions are disabled, why and how do I enable them?

Every WP Engine site has revisions disabled in the wp-config.php file. When we enabled it, we noticed that their were issues with sites performance. It is our recommendation to keep revisions disabled for optimal site performance.

It is still possible to enable revisions by editing the line in wp-config.php where it says:

WordPress.org features information on possible customizations to make on revisions here: http://codex.WordPress.org/Revision_Management

We only recommend making customizations to the wp-config.php file if you are knowledgeable to make PHP code changes. This type of customization is beyond our scope of support since we do not recommend making this change.
